GBP/USD – May 5: Trump May Lift Tariffs on China
Open trading account Open demo account

On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair continued its decline on Friday toward the 161.8% Fibonacci correction level at 1.3249. A rebound from this level will favor the British pound and could lead to some growth toward the 1.3357 level. A close below 1.3249 will increase the likelihood of continued decline toward 1.3149. The bullish trend is currently still intact.

There are no doubts recently regarding the wave structure. The last completed upward wave broke the previous high, while the new downward wave has not breached the last low. This confirms that the bullish trend remains valid. A reversal will only be possible after a confident close below 1.3249, accompanied by a relevant news backdrop from the White House indicating a reduction in global trade war tensions. Otherwise, dollar strengthening is likely to end.

The news background on Friday could have created new problems for the bears, yet they held their ground. Last week, bears managed to execute several attacks despite the ambiguous news background for the dollar. Nonfarm Payrolls and the unemployment rate reports saved the situation on Friday. Had those reports been negative, the pair might have returned to the 1.3357 level—and from there, the 1.3425 peak wouldn't be far.

Two weak factors currently support the dollar. First, Trump hasn't introduced new tariffs or raised existing ones in several weeks. Second, he has shown a gradual inclination toward easing tariff policies. He first lowered tariffs to 10% for all countries except China for a period of three months. Then he repeatedly mentioned reducing tariffs for China, warning that trade between the U.S. and China might completely halt, which benefits no one. However, I have no doubt that the U.S. President will only be ready to reduce tariffs after a trade agreement is signed. And as is well known, there are no negotiations currently underway.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair rebounded from the 100.0% Fibonacci level at 1.3435, turned in favor of the dollar, and began to decline toward the 76.4% corrective level at 1.3118. No divergences are forming on any indicators today. The upward trend channel continues to signal a bullish trend. The news background is contradictory, which doesn't support expectations for strong dollar growth.

Commitments of Traders (COT) Report

This image is no longer relevant

The sentiment of the "Non-commercial" trader category became more bullish last reporting week. Long positions decreased by 2,957 contracts, while Short positions decreased by 6,426 contracts. Bears have lost their market advantage. The gap between Long and Short positions now stands at 24,000 in favor of the bulls: 91,000 vs. 67,000.

In my view, the British pound still has room for decline, but recent developments could trigger a long-term market reversal. Over the last three months, Long positions have grown from 80,000 to 91,000, while Short positions have fallen from 80,000 to 67,000. More notably, over the past 14 weeks, Long positions rose from 59,000 to 91,000 and Shorts fell from 81,000 to 67,000.

News Calendar for the U.S. and U.K.:

  • U.S. – S&P Services PMI (13:45 UTC)
  • U.S. – ISM Services PMI (14:00 UTC)

On Monday, the economic calendar includes two fairly important entries, but economic data is not currently the main driver for traders. The influence of the news background on trader sentiment will be weak on Monday.

Forecast and Trading Tips for GBP/USD:

  • Sell the pair today if the hourly chart closes below the 1.3249 level, with a target of 1.3139.
  • Buy the pair if it rebounds from the 1.3249 level on the hourly chart, with a target of 1.3357.

Fibonacci levels are built from 1.2809 to 1.2100 on the hourly chart, and from 1.3431 to 1.2104 on the 4-hour chart.
